As part of our ongoing effort to offer leadership training for our members and their workforce, NJBIA is again offering professional leadership development in 2023.
This professional development opportunity will consist of quarterly online sessions, 2-hours each, and includes attendance at our well-regarded Women Business Leaders Forum in September. It is designed to help attendees achieve what it takes to excel in today’s competitive and ever-changing business climate.
This training aims to delve into distinct leadership pressure points, the evolution of the leadership skillset, reaction and response, and identifying leadership blind spots to ensure that managers feel empowered to lead. This focus will help ensure leaders have the space to create a climate in which employees contribute, feel trusted, creative, and motivated.
